DESCRIPTION

       This  procedure  is  invoked to add an option to the database associated with tkwin's main
       window.  Name contains the option being specified and consists  of  names  and/or  classes
       separated  by asterisks or dots, in the usual X format.  Value contains the text string to
       associate with name; this value will be  returned  in  calls  to  Tk_GetOption.   Priority
       specifies  the  priority  of  the  value; when options are queried using Tk_GetOption, the
       value with the highest priority is returned.  Priority must be between 0 and  TK_MAX_PRIO.
       Some common priority values are:

       20     Used for default values hard-coded into widgets.

       40     Used for options specified in application-specific startup files.

       60     Used  for  options  specified  in user-specific defaults files, such as .Xdefaults,
              resource databases loaded into the X server, or user-specific startup files.

       80     Used for options specified interactively after the application starts running.
